The 2020–21 UEFA Europa League will be the 50th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 12th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.. Europa – which is slightly smaller than our own moon – has long been considered a possible candidate in the hunt for alien life.
This combined navigation system (dead reckoning and 3D-SLAM) enabled the autonomous original exploration of the DepthX’s science payload consists of a water and rock core sampling system that extends 1.5 meters from the vehicle in hazardous wall proximity zones (see Figures 9a-c). The sensor architecture needed to implement 3D-SLAM drove the ellipsoidal shape and the exoskeleton frame, but in additional made the vehicle survivable.
During the past six years Stone Aerospace has developed two generations of autonomous underwater vehicles and used them in a wide variety of hazardous environments from the original exploration and mapping of deep hydrothermal springs to sub-glacial lake exploration and science missions in Antarctica. For example, the external geometry is an axi-symmetric ellipsoid of revolution, which eliminates snag points in unknown and cluttered environments. We designed it for survivability and precision maneuvering capability in 3D space. DEPTHX broke new ground on several fronts:Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 show the patent-pending DEPTHX design. Decades ago, science fiction offered a hypothetical scenario: What if alien life were thriving in an ocean beneath the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa? The second navigation engine was 3D-SLAM. If you're a ticket holder, please check your email for an important update sent mid-April 2020. DEPTHX broke new ground on several fronts: First mobile robotic system of any kind to implement 3D-SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) as part of a real-time navigation engine. The notion pulled Europa out of obscurity and into the limelight where it has remained, stoking the imaginations of people both within and outside the science community who fantasize about humans discovering life beyond Earth. To hold its position, it could use the thrusters, but this would rapidly consume valuable battery power. Beyond Earth, Jupiter’s moon Europa is considered one of the most promising places in the solar system to search for signs of present-day life, and a new NASA mission to explore this potential is moving forward from concept review to development.
It also allows the vehicle to be “spun up” in autonomous mode with very low energy. This instrument collection, combined with onboard custom code and Kalman filter, demonstrated long-range open-loop control on the order of 0.05 to 0.1% of distance traveled (less than 1m of error per kilometer of traverse). This system can be used to extract rock samples to depths of 1,000 meters.DEPTHX extracts a core from the wall of Cenote La Pilita.
